SALTLEAF MARINA

Where the land ends,
the adventure begins

Estero Bay isn’t just the border of our community. It’s a community of its own with thriving, sun-nourished seagrasses that house the fish that feed the birds … and so on. Opening in early 2026, Saltleaf Marina will restore public access and provide our residents with inspired ways to play in the wondrous aquatic preserve next door. (Or simply watch the boats pass by as you dine at our waterfront restaurant.)

Adventures for every kind of adventurer.

Pick your passion

Maybe it’s sunrise solo paddleboarding. (Good morning, dolphins!) Afternoon kayaking for two. Or a family sunset cruise in a sport boat. With 72 boat slips for annual lease, Saltleaf residents are welcome to captain their own craft. Boating newbie? Let the Saltleaf crew be your guide on our community's very own private fleet. Saltleaf Marina will debut with an event yacht – think beach excursion birthday bashes for up to 25 – and a more intimate yacht, perfect for a family's quest for red snapper with our expert fishing captain. If paddling is more your style, borrow kayaks and paddleboards from the Saltleaf Ship Store. That's where you can pick up snacks, fishing gear and apparel too.

New life for a
Community treasure

Saltleaf Marina is new — but it’s a restoration too, of access to a much-loved, historic shoreline closed since 2014. In the 1930s, Draine and Mamie Weeks built a shack on the site that grew into a fishing camp. This little fishing hamlet, Coconut, became known locally as Weeks Fish Camp. In the 1940s, the family opened the marina to the public for commercial fishing, wildlife photography, marine research — and some of the community’s favorite memories. Of sunsets and bonfires, and fishing and boating with the people you love. 

Local traditions we are honored to carry on.
